Cured by Mud Baths.

A writer in the Washington Post says
in a recent issue: | met Leonard Sweet
yesterday in the office of Major J. w
Powell Director of the Geological Sur.
yey. 1--WE are old cronies, - said the dis.
tinguished lawyer, Il have had friendly
hand on Powell's shoulder ever since wal
times.
/ congratulated Mr.. Sweet on his su,
perb health, for it was noticeable that
while he resembled his old comrade and
friend, Abraham Lincoln, as much as
ever, he was stouter and better rounded
out than had ever seen him.
"Mud and horseback did it, said he.
II was neryeless, appetiteless, sleepless,
broken down and broken up, filed with
despair. The doctor ordered me to go
to Las Vegas, and l went there and took
twenty mud baths. II was little un.
pleasant at first, but it threw me into
violent perspirations and started the
sluggish machinery anew. It changed
my physical condition radically, and ]
came out all right.
"Then | began to ride horseback as
winter came on. 1t was cold exercise. l
put on three pairs of buckskin breeches,
couple of flannel shirts, seaiskin cap,
a pair Of fur boots and mittens to match,
and the children used TO shout; 'Hellol

Flowers Cultivated for Perfume.

One essential principle in perfume Is
culture is that all fancy and 'improvedn
varieties of flowers are discarded, and
the natural, simple, old-fashioned kind
are exclusively grown. The roses grown
are the common pink ones. The single
wild violet is preferred to all the larger
artifcially developed varieties, and not a
double tuberose is to be seen on any
farm. Only the white jasmine is used,
the yellow and less fragrant variety be-
ing either discarded or unknown. The
jasmine plants are set in rows about 10
inches apart, and are closely pruned every
year. Roses are grown on the lower ter
races, and are likewise cut low, and the
ground between the trees heavily ma
nured, After the roses have been gath
cred the stem is cut to within a few
inches of the ground, so as to conserve
for the next season the entire vigor of
the plant. During the harvest season
traders or middle men go through the
country every day with wagons col
Letting flowers from the farms, for which
they pay prices varying according
to the extent of the crop and the de-
mands of the market. Their fragrant
load is hurried to the nearest manufact-
urer and delivered while the flowers are
still fresh and crisp, 1t is necessary that
the flowers should be gathered in the
morning as soon as possible after the
dews of the preceding night have dis
appeared. Inmany cases laboratories are
erected on the flower farm itself, and if
the farm is of sufficient size this adds
very much to its profits, Chambers's

Birds on the Farm.

Farmers, protect the birds, the insect
eaters, robins, catbirds, bluebirds, black
birds, thrushes, orioles, redbirds, wood
peckers and all. Each class has mis-
sion to perform in the economy of nature,
and without their assistance we will have
neither crops nor fruits. The martins
destroy weeyil, the quails and grouse

The Old Time 4" "Back Log"

1t Will surprise many persons of the
present day to be told that the ''bsck
log of which we read so much in old
time stories was large stone, porous
stone being preferred if possible. This
stone was buried in the ashes, and on ton
was placed the "back stick" The back
stone in those primitive times PLAYED a
very important part in the economy Of
early housekeeping; matches were not
then invented; flint, steel and tow were
the only means of lighting a fire or
lamp; imagine for a moment the
"Bridget' of to-day thus engaged with
the thermometer ten degrees below zero
in the kitchen. The stone, together with
the ashes with which it was covered,
served to retain fire and heat through the
night, and all that was necessary in the
morning was little kindling and gentle
use of the indispensable bellows, and a
fire was as readily made as at the present
day,
Back stones were not in much use in
bedrooms and parlors after the beginning
of this century, turf having taken its
place and served equally well, while tax
ing up less space. The stone log in my
possession and which belonged TO my
grandmother, and in use down to within
few years Of her death, half century
ago, is at the service Of the Boston So
ciety if they should think it of sufficient
importance II is not less than $50 years

ON AN OLD ROAD.

A host Of poppies, a fight Of swallows;
A furry of rain, and wind that follows
Shepherds the leaves in the sheltered hollows,
For the forest is shaken and thinned
Over my head are the frs for rafter;
The crows blow south, and my hearts goes
after;
kiss my hands TO the world with laughter
Is it Aidenn or mystical Indl
Oh, the whirl of the fields in the windy
weather.
How the barley breaks and blows togetherl
oh, glad is the free bird afloat on the heath

If King Kalakaua were to interview
the editors who are talking about dis
turbances in the Sandwich Islands he
would very likely ask them to what part
OF the world they referred. When the
King was in this country, a few years
ago, the Mayor of Chicago, in a moment
Of alteration, introduced him TO the
Board of Trade as the King of the Canni-
bal Islands. Kalakaua thought this was
tolerably good joke, but any attempts
to make him known as the King of the
Sandwich Islands always tended to ruf.
fe the royal temper. When Capt. Cook
discovered the Hawaiian groupe he at
tached to it the name of an English peer.
A number of the names Cook gave to
islands he discovered have been replaced
on the maps by the prettier and more
appropriate native names. Hawaii takes
its name from the largest island in the
group. The natives recognize no other
name for the group, and Kalakaua is
known to other governments only as the
King of Hawaii

NIhe torpedo boat as an engine of warfare
has not as yet proved an unqualified sue
cess. The latest French experiments
with it failed entirely A fleet of trans
ports was to make voyage from Toulon
to Algiers and return, conveyed by war
ships. A fleet of torpedo boats was to
attack the convoy at every opportunity.
The squadron started of on a gale so
fierce the boats could not go to sea, and
came back on a night so dark that the
boats could not find single vessel.
This would indicate that the torpedo
boat must find an enemy accommodating
enough to sail only in fair weather and
by daylight, fit is to get chance to
blow anything or anybody up.

1t is an undoubted fact, says the New
York O5sereer, that no instrument in
vented by man, not expressly designed as
man-destroyer, has actually crippled
and slain more men than the car coupler.
Accidents to railroad employees from this
cause are the most common of occur.
rences. 1t is estimated that in the Uuited
States alone 400 brakemen are killed
every year while coupling cars, and thou
sands are bruised, manned, or seriously
injured. The question of substituting a
safety coupler has often been discussed,
and numerous inventions to secure safety,
OF more or less value have been proposed
for adoption, but nothing practical has
as yet resulted. The trouble has been to
find safety-coupler applicable TO all
kinds of cars, and one that could be rec
commended for universal use. 1t is graft
flying to learn that an investigation by
committee representing 80, 900 miles of
road is now on foot, with the object of
finding system of safety-coupling that
may be generally adopted When the
car stove and the old fashioned link and
pin coupling are ruled out of existence, the
dangers of railroading will be reduced by
large degree,

An insurance paper has been collecting
statistics of suicide in the United States.
Among the most singular and perpex-
ing things is the fact that "the classiil-

portion suicides among the married than
the unmarried, which is contrary to the
accepted theory.

The air is fgll of honeyed sounds. The bee,
Within the waxen lily's houeyed cells,
In monotone of mellow measure tells
His yet unsated joyance; drowsily

The tremulous tinlsle of the far sheep bells,
While wind-harps sigh in every crowned tree.
Beneath the becchen shade the reapers lie,
Upon their lips merry harvest tune;
Knee-deep within neighboring stream

Stand blinking idly in the clear sunshine;
And like dream of olden Already

The Acre.

The word acre is from the Latin ager,
Greek agnos, field. The Greek acker
means both field and a measure of land.
Most nations have some measure nearly
corresponding, such as what one plow
could plow in a day. The English
statute acre consists of A, $40 square Yards.
The chaiysS:Slth which land jis-sie measured
IS twenty a'o yards long, and a square
chain will contain twenty-five by twenty
two or 4s4 yards, so that ten square
chrins make an acre. The Scotch acre
is larger than the English, and the Irish
is larger than the Scotch
The following table shows the values
of other measures compared with the
English acre:

Two ROADS.

There are two roads q. the begin
ming Of lifes journey. They lie to-
gether for some distance along the
way, so close that children play to-
gether between then on the green
grass and along the shady hooks, and
then get back each into their own
road aud travel on. Again they NEE,
and play, but on the journey the
distance has widened a little, and as
they travel on the distance between
the roads grows wider. One Of these
roads leads to happiness and other to
despair. Be C, fil my young friend
which road you take. Get in the
right road and keep it, if you have
started wrong turn at once, the fur

and the difficulties in getting into
the right way. BE wise in your youth
